Enoch Pratt Free Library Maryland's State Library Resource Center Enoch Pratt Free Library Maryland’s State Library Resource Center Strategic Planning Cycle 2011-2015 Annual Report FY 2012 1. Visibility SLRC will establish an identity for its services and market them to increase their use by target audiences. 1.1 Identify target audiences. (SLRC Strategic Plan Goal 1: Objective 1) Action steps * Include identified target audiences in the Needs Assessment process Needs Assessment Survey raw data appears in chart form for each area providing more detail in Appendix 1. SLRC Use Summary from SLRC Commission, MAPLA, and MaryLib: 78% Inter-Library Loan 77% Training 66% Sailor 63% Reference or Information Resources 51% Subject Specialists 50% Sailor Infrastructure 42% Local History Materials 30% Audio Visual Resources Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 1 Strengths: Ability to Stay Ahead of the Curve Depth of Collection Depth of Subject Knowledge Managing ILL, Support, Delivery, and Training Reference and Information Resources Responsiveness Sailor Maintenance Serving as a Statewide Resource Staff, Knowledgeable, Friendly, Responsive Subject Guides Training Web Site Content Weaknesses: Funding Hours Lack of Popular Materials Not a Leader in Library Services and Innovation Internal Bureaucracy Not Enough Staff Marketing Staff More Collaboration/Communication Mission of SLRC is Unclear MARINA and the Marina Web Site Toll free access Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 2 Opportunities: Expand ILL formats More electronic and digital content on a broader scope More mobile technologies More Outreach Visits More training opportunities and online remote training Workforce Development Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 3 SLRC Use Summary from SLRC staff: Priority Services: Collection support Government Documents Inter-Library Loan Local History Resources Reference and Information Services Sailor Network and Databases Training Major Strengths Collections Government Documents Information Access Staff (Systems and Web) Inter-Library Loan Support to the State Staff Expertise Major Weaknesses Collection Budget Customer Service Staffing Decreased Staffing Dual Role the Library Plays Fiscal Constraints Hours Need for Increased Communication Across Library Divisions Poor Hiring Need to Increase/Broaden SLRC Sponsored Online Training Web site Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 4 Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 5 Needs Assessment Analysis The Johari Window process verified what is known and often quantified. There are no major surprises in the Open and Hidden areas. The Blind and Unknown areas provide the most significant data. The Blind area is more significant as it impacts the annual planning process. This area identifies what necessarily immediately apparent to SLRC though is identified as being apparent to SLRC constituents. Each of the bullet points provided below require addressing as fiscally possible. These also require more detailed examination to determine how they fit within the structure of the existing SLRC Strategic Plan. The Unknown area is clearly what the Library profession is currently facing across the country. This is an area that will continually be shifting and for planning purposes require annual surveying in order to look strategically at the future. Replicating the assessment annually or even semi-annually positions SLRC more solidly for the next Strategic Planning cycle. Blind (What is known by others but not internally.) • Need More Electronic and Digital Content on a Broader Scope • Need to Expand I.L.L. Access to a Broader Range of Formats • Need to Increase Online Training • Need More Outreach • Need More Collaboration and Communication • Clearly Define and Market Mission of SLRC • Not a Leader in Library Services and Innovation • MARINA and MARINA Website have problems • Confusing Internal Bureaucracy • Not Enough Hours • No Toll Free Access Unknown (What is not known internally or by others) • Individual Maryland Library Customer's Awareness of Services and Value • Depth and Accessibility of Special Collections • Future Roles for SLRC • Future Funding, Staffing, Hours • Impact of Emerging Technologies • What Emerging Technologies are we not aware of Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 6 Develop marketing and communications strategies to reach identified target audiences (Design innovative communications to target SLRC customers) (SLRC Strategic Plan Goal 1: Objective 2) Action steps * Promote the MDCH program using online marketing strategies e.g. VerticalResponse. * Web Department staff posted screenshots of the new MDCH website launched on 3/26 on our Flickr account. The Web staff also worked with Pratt Director of Communications who posted online information to Facebook and Twitter, as well as doing a traditional press release. He also made arrangements to refresh information on these venues periodically over the next several months. American Libraries Direct, an electronic newsletter sent out weekly as a supplement to ALA’s American Libraries magazine, selected the MDCH site as the Digital Library of the Week for the week of 3/28 at: http://www.ilovelibraries.org/articles/digitallibrary The press release and online link to the site was shared with Jay Bansbach at MSDE so that teachers and students would be made aware of the new site. In April and May 2012, MDCH will be featured on the EPFL website homepage banner. * Enhance the visibility and access to the MDCH collections. Web Department staff is in the process of implementing the new design of the MDCH website on a virtual host. Besides a brand new logo and a more attractive appearance, the new site also contains several new features that come directly through the CONTENTdm upgrade. These features include an advanced search, better display options, and web 2.0 social elements, etc. Web staff finished the site setup and layout configuration. The Digitization Supervisor revised the site content and migrated the description pages to the new server. The new site was launched on 3/26/12. The new Pratt Digital Collections webpage was launched in conjunction with the redesigned MDCH website on 3/26/12. The new page was created in CONTENTdm, and includes a custom- designed banner and improved user interface. Approved by the State Library Resource Center Commission September 2012 Page 7 The Maryland Humanities Council saw Pratt’s announcement of the newly posted Maryland Historical Society’s digital collection on the War of 1812 and added it to their list of War of 1812 Bicentennial Resources on their website. Jay Bansbach at MSDE helped us publicize the posting of the War of 1812 collection by sending an email message to inform all school librarians about it. Pratt’s Director of Communications shared the posting on Twitter and Facebook. The Digitization Supervisor presented a workshop at the Spring SLRC conference on 3/21/12 titled “Digitization Basics: Making the Past Accessible in the Digital Present.” 21 people attended the workshop, which included information about the digitization process and the MDCH program. * Explore and evaluate the use of web-based streaming video technology to more effectively reach SLRC target audiences. The following guides incorporate streaming video technology from sources that exist on the Web. The topics for the guides themselves are based on customer demand identified and created by the Fine Arts Department staff. The Library’s Sights and Sounds Department is now staffed in the technician area with the expertise to create original streaming video further enhancing approved Web Guides. Public Service staff will be exploring how this might be incorporated into the online training designed and delivered by SLRC Public Service staff. The Annual Genealogy conference takes place and includes a section on Navigating the 1940 Census. The Conference will be available via the Library’s podcast page, on the Library’s SLRC iTunes site, and will be available live statewide through the Library’s ustream.tv account the day of the event: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/enochpratt Get the Picture; A Digital Photography Guide This guide features a video from the site entitled “How Stuff Works” on choosing a Digital Camera the most appropriate and affordable video camera to meet a customer’s needs.
